Summary:
Edgar School District has one middle school, Edgar Middle, serving grades 6–8 with 120 students in Edgar, Wisconsin. It is a small, high-performing school: for 2025–2026 it ranks 80th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools — the 88th percentile — with 4 stars. The Edgar School District also ranks well, at 74th of 432 districts statewide (83rd percentile, 4 stars), so the school sits inside a strong district.
Edgar Middle has climbed steadily: 225th of 641 (65th percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–2024, then 152nd of 628 (76th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–2025, then 80th of 643 (88th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026 — a gain of 145 rank positions and 23 percentile points in two years. On the 2025–2026 Forward Exam, the school beat the state in all eight reported grade-and-subject results, averaging 73.03% proficiency against the state's 55.51%, about +17.51 percentage points. The widest margins were in 7th grade English language arts (85% vs. 55.33% state), 6th grade math (80% vs. 53.6%), 8th grade social studies (89.47% vs. 64.63%), and 8th grade science (71.05% vs. 51.86%). The narrowest advantage was 8th grade math, 55.26% vs. 53.67% (+1.59 points), a pattern also seen in 2024–2025 (54.55% vs. 53.06%).
Chronic absenteeism is 12.4%, better than the district's 14.0% and the state's 17.3%. The dropout rate is 1.2%, very low, though slightly above the district (1.0%) and state (1.1%). Free/reduced lunch is 32.5%, per-student spending is $15,625, and the student-teacher ratio is 11.8. Because enrollment is only 120, a handful of students can shift percentages noticeably from year to year; the 8th grade social studies jump from 61.36% to 89.47% reflects a different group of students rather than the same students' growth.
